You have entered Da Blitz Arena... :D ...I got fired this past Saturday. -_- *BOOOOOOOOOM*
Yep. Crazy right? The reason given? "Rule #5: Complete Honesty", which is a load of bull.
Basically, for months now, I've been having trouble staying awake during the day, especially at work. Almost everyday, at LEAST 1 person(coworkers) asked "How ya doing?" or "Why do you look so tired?" I've always said the same thing, even to the managers: "I don't know why but I'm always sleepy when I'm here." "Well, did you sleep at all?" "Yes, only the 6 hours my body will allow me to."
During these same months, I would randomly pass out somewhere in the store for about an hour, mostly in the bathroom, as embarrassing as that is to admit. It wasn't a frequent thing. As tired as I was, I managed to stay awake most of the times. So, this past Thursday, I was to bring out some stock. I did was almost done too, but *flomp!*, I passed out again. This time, however, someone was looking for me during this time frame and who else it could have been but the GM himself. >_> I was found in that room by a coworker, who I'm sure told the GM where they found me. I woke up to my name being blasted on the intercom. I tried to get up, but could barely think, move, or anything.
Eventually I did, and the GM called me to his office. You could tell in his face he knew. As always, I told him everything I tell everyone else including him. 100% honesty. He said ok, "I'll deal with you next time you come to work." Rest of the day was a haze 'cause, again, I couldn't really think straight. Off that Friday & came in Saturday. 1st half of the day, never heard anything from the GM, then he randomly called me to his office in the middle of dealing w/ a customer w/ alot of crap. Called him and told him I'm w/ a customer, give me a sec. He agreed and hung up.
I knew something was gonna go down, but I would never have thought it would be this major. Most people in the store if there was a problem(unless it was theft) just had hours cut or something. It happened to a coworker/friend alot, being as he was late alot. But no, I get canned. I asked all 3 managers b4 I signed that paper what can I do to correct this being as this is(SERIOUSLY) the very 1st time I screwed up. Not one of them gave me an answer. I was walked out by the stock manager(the one I usually work with) and asked him one more time b4 I clocked out. "Mr. [name here], are you sure there isn't anything I could do? How many other times everyone else messed up and I'm getting fired for something I've been letting you guys know about for months now?" ...all he said was sorry & that it wasn't left up to him to decide it.
All I did for the rest of the day was sit in that parking lot for an hour or 2, went home, and started cleaning my room; trying to stay as calm as possible. And that was that.
Stuff on the side:
-- Fortunately, VERY fortunately, I was already thinking about leaving this job for better pay and cover my bills & in the application process w/ AT&T and passed the 1st test. Have another interview this coming Thursday.
-- No, Madre does NOT know yet. She will eventually. If I come back around w/ a bloody face or not at all....yea. >_>
-- Mentally, still can't believe how much bullshit this is.
-- Psychically, still always tired. Funny thing, I've been trying 5hour Energy to help me stay awake. Doesn't work for shit. ^^ I bought some Myio Energy as well so gonna try that. If it doesn't work, guess I'm immune to energy drinks. Lovely ain't it?
-- Emotionally, so ready to destroy something and not care what it is. Too much, too much shit try my limits and sanity & I fear what comes of when I finally break...
-- Everything else, fuck me. Some bills are coming up and I doubt they'll wait 2 weeks(if I land this job) for the payment. More depressed than usual. >_> ...but there is a slight motivation to it.
-- Imma open commissions again(but not today, although, it would be preferable). I feel a drive now to get shit done. And hey, I'm home alot now right? I can do this. I KNOW I can. Today, as well as the rest of the week, will consist of posting some doodles & such, working on comics & commission examples, and mentally preparing myself to ace this job screening. AT&T pay way more than my previous jobs so I MUST land this one.
--- 1st test, btw, was some easy math crap. I Aced+ all my math classes. If there is more like that, Iz as good as gold. Seriously, it wasn't that hard, yet half the people testing that day failed. ._.
That's all for now. Sunday, I didn't do anything. Just trying to get over it. You may continue w/ your lives and such, for I hope they are better than mine right now... Oh, and sorry for upload spamming today...which I haven't done yet so let's say I'm warning you of it. Alright? Good.

Yep, just sitting still for too long does the deal so I'm ALWAYS doing something(as much as I can) to keep busy, just to fight it. Otherwise, we both know the result.
After looking up what Narcolepsy is...it maybe the 'cause of my headaches as well... :<
